The Parish church of Saint Joseph is a Roman Catholic Baroque parish church located in Msida, Malta.
The first parish of Msida was built in 1867 whilst under the religious guidance of Archbishop Gaetano Pace Forno. The chosen patron was the Immaculate Conception. A larger church dedicated to St Joseph was built later on. Works on this new building were finished by 1889. The church was consecrated on April 22, 1894. [1] [2] [3]
